At the public meeting October 9th 2014 held at the fire hall by Natural Forces, there was mention of a possible Community Liasion Committee (CLC) however due to a lack of interest the CLC will not be formed at this time. The formation of such a committtee may be revisited in the future if enough community interest is available.
